Short Description: A quarterly exhibition of computer controlled exo-oceanic life created out of found objects, fans, motors, pantyhose, automotive debris, construction debris, and horseshoe crab shells.

MIKON HALL OF WORLDS Operation Ghagotheirum Mikon Hall of Worlds is a growing, changing computer controlled pseudo ecology and instantiation of non-existent urban archeology of inflatable sculpture, light sculpture, water sculpture, kinetic sculpture, real-time 3d projection, and real-time MIDI sound environments. Parents, children, and infants welcome. Mikon is listed on the rhizome.org ArtBase, (http://rhizome.org/artbase/selection_criteria.rhiz) a juried online archive of new media art of 'potential historical significance.’ This month, Mikon Hall of Worlds will unveil a Ghagotherium, a carnivorous swimming creature, which wanders the dry Nunataks that poke out of the methane crusts of Mikon and its sister worlds, boring through the ice to eat the animals that live in the oceans and slushes below. We will hang the Ghagotherium from the ceiling of the exhibition space, for viewers to compare this animal to the blue whale which hangs from the ceiling of the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life (http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/permanent/ocean/?src=pv_h) at the New York Museum of Natural History.

This month, Mikon Hall of Worlds will give another go at rolling out the world's first pillbug controlled sound and installation environment. Failing that there will be some new quasisessile machine pods sprouting up and about the space.

· Brief description or synopsis: Mikon, listed on the rhizome.org ArtBase, is a micro-museum of computer and voice driven kinetic sculpture, sound, and a viewer-manipulated virtual zooarium of imaginary life forms. Inspired by the Wunderkammern of the 18th century, Mikon is a super-condensed macrocosm, a storefront cabinet of curiosities. Mikon seeks to instill the wonder of speculative biology in its viewers, who have both the opportunity to animate aspects of the exhibition and to observe the unpredictable behavior of its components. In January we introduce the sessile yet boistrous "Ciudad de Leviathan".
